Replace messy spreadsheets and duct-taped Zapier workflows with a custom dashboard built exactly for your team's processes.
Have a brilliant SaaS idea? We build lightweight, ultra-fast Micro-SaaS products with subscription billing built in from day one.
We use the latest technologies like React, Node.js, and Serverless to ensure your software is lightning-fast and scales effortlessly.
Most of the time it is not. If an off-the-shelf tool fits your process, buy it — a £40-a-month subscription will beat a bespoke build on every measure that matters. We would rather tell you that on the first call than take the project.
Custom becomes the right answer in two situations. The first is when your process is genuinely unusual and you are quietly paying people to work around a tool that almost fits — exporting to a spreadsheet, re-keying data between systems, maintaining an automation nobody else understands. That labour is a recurring cost, and it is usually larger than anyone has actually measured.
The second is when the workflow itself is the competitive advantage. Standardising it to whatever a vendor happens to support means giving up the thing that makes you faster than your competitors — and handing your operating model to a third party who can change their pricing whenever they like.
Stripe integration with plan management, upgrades, failed-payment handling and the billing edge cases that are tedious to build and expensive to get wrong.
Scheduled jobs, webhooks and integrations built with retries, logging and alerting — so when something upstream fails you find out, rather than discovering it in a customer complaint three weeks later.
The internal screens you need to actually run the thing: user management, activity history, and the numbers you will be asked for by a board, an accountant or an investor.
What Micro-SaaS means in practice, what it costs, and when you should not build it.
A Micro-SaaS is a small, focused software product that solves one problem well for a narrow audience, usually run by a small team and sold on subscription. It is deliberately not a platform: the scope stays tight, which is what makes it possible to build in weeks rather than years and to operate profitably without a large engineering team.
TS Design Solutions builds internal tools and Micro-SaaS products on fixed prices: £1,495 for scoping and wireframing over two weeks, £7,995 for a complete 21-day build including authentication, database, payments and admin dashboard, and from £25,000 for a multi-tenant production platform over three to four months.
Buy off the shelf whenever something fits. Custom software earns its cost in two situations: when your process is genuinely unusual and you are currently paying staff to work around a tool that almost fits, and when the workflow is a competitive advantage you do not want to standardise to whatever a vendor supports. If neither is true, an existing SaaS subscription is the cheaper answer and we will say so.
Yes, and it is one of the most common briefs. The typical case is a business running operations across several spreadsheets stitched together with automation that breaks quietly. Replacing that with a single application removes the reconciliation work, the silent failures and the dependency on whoever originally built the automation.
React and Next.js on the front end, Node.js on the backend, and PostgreSQL, Supabase or Neon for data, deployed on serverless infrastructure. These are mainstream, widely supported choices specifically so that any competent developer can maintain the result after handover.
Yes, entirely. The repository, infrastructure accounts and intellectual property transfer to you at completion. There is no proprietary framework, no recurring licence fee and no requirement to keep TS Design Solutions engaged to change your own software.
